Hi! My name is Anaya and I am a Sophomore at Purchase college but I am based in Brooklyn, New york. I am offering child care as well as the occasional pet care. I really enjoy taking care of children and have been watching toddlers/ kids since I was 15 years old. Although I cannot cook, I can help kids with their homework, keep them company, play with them, keep the house nice and tidy, and run errands via public transportation. Im available every day except for the weekends (Friday Saturday and Sunday)and work mainly in the afternoon/evening. Feel free to reach out!!
Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!
Hello!! My name is Analese and I am the sixth of nine children in my family, so I began babysitting at a very young age. Growing up, I babysat siblings, nieces and nephews, and family friends, with my responsibilities including childcare, pet care, transportation, tutoring and more! While attending university, I worked as a nanny and have experience working with infants and children up to the age of 15. During my last semester, I began working as a Registered Behavior Technician, gaining 1 year of experience providing ABA (applied behavioral analysis) therapy to children diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) aged 15 months-9 years old. I am grateful for this experience and actively implement ABA techniques when working with all children. I have always loved working with children and feel I have a natural ability to meet kids at their level. I often find that I have learned from them just as much as they learn from me! I hope to work and save to eventually become a pediatric neuropsychologist.
I have over 25 years of experience. I have worked as a nanny and caregiver. I am a Granadian. Fun loving, energetic, mentally and physically. Many years of experience. Great physical shape. Secondary school education - Hilsbarrow Government School in Carriacou, Granada.
I am a 19 year old dedicated college student pursuing a nursing career under pediatrics seeking to expand my work ethic with an understanding of children’s behavior and needs. I am an enthusiastic, caring, and organized individual looking to grow as a person and professional every day while prioritizing children. I am a young lady myself, but i prioritize the safety of children with softness and calmness and will forever care over any child like they are my own family.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
